Based on a thread started by The Royal Canadian, I completed all three Trader related quests (Traders Revealed, Traders' Courier, Agent Revealed) but discovered I couldn't get either Rannos or Gremag to talk to me about the Retribution quest after encountering the assassin in the wilds. I verified I had all the correct flags set, but I couldn't break them out of the "You double crossed us" dialog. Looking at their DLG files, it appeared this could be remedied by copying over the lines about the Retribution quest into the "double cross" sections (line {20} for both). My proposed fixes are below. I tweaked the language to flow with the discussion, and renumbered the lines to insert the Retribution responses above the others. I tested talking to both Rannos and Gremag, and they both properly flowed into the Retribution discussion. If I'm missing something here, please let me know. Rannos: {20}{It is interesting that you return here after double crossing ME! [angry] You are no longer welcome here. Begone! [calmer now] And I suggest you watch your back.}{It is interesting that you return here after double crossing ME! [angry] You are no longer welcome here. Begone!
